Visa for Venice

Venezia is a one-of-a-kind city. We are all amazed by its beauty but not all of us aware of the efforts that are needed in order to protect this unique location and preserve its beauty, also for future generations. With millions of visitors coming from all over the world each year, the city needs help from each of us.

The city of Venezia and Visa have launched the “Visa for Venezia” initiative that aims to contribute to the future of the city, promoting a more responsible behaviour. #EnjoyRespectVenezia

With “Visa for Venezia”, starting from July 2019 we commit for the next 3 years to donate a part of our earnings generated by the operations made with Visa cards in any shop of the city.The accumulated amount and subject to certain thresholds being reached, will allow the development of initiatives to support Venezia, to safeguard its artistic and historical heritage or to serve the community.

Every time you pay in person with Visa in the City of Venice, even for small amounts, Visa will contribute with a donation to preserve the beauty of the city. The initiative, in partnership with the Municipality, lasts till the 30th of June 2022 and is valid for in person payment with any Visa and Vpay card.

At various locations in the city, donation stands are also available, to make your own donation in the value of 4€ to preserve Venezia.
